Move T3 pop-top into QLD?

[Krazywaffle]

When comparing policies, check for the right to retain the vehicle in the instance of a repairable write off and a total write off..
Salvage rights are really important for an owner as these vehicles are often written off very quickly. A lack of panel beaters prepared to work on old vehicles tends to tip the assessment towards write off.
Many members have the skills and time to resurrect their vehicles……being paid out usually covers the cost of consumables required & or an engine rebuild.
Just a thought…….

Thanks for the heads up regarding this. From what I can tell the KT policy is more clear regarding right to retain salvage (minus estimated salvage value) than CLI policy (excerpt from CLI policy below), but will confirm this point with both companies before making final decision.

Another van of interest just popped up. 2010 T5 diesel with professional conversion. The odd thing is that the previous owner transferred from NSW to QLD but, for some reason, this process didn’t require changing NSW mod plate for QLD mod plate (ie, NSW mod plate still mounted despite being on QLD rego). Seller claims that they had no issue with rego transfer from previous owner to themselves. As such, being that van already has QLD rego and all that would be required is transfer to new owner within QLD, perhaps there is less risk/concern regarding issues encountered during rego transfer (because it is already registered in QLD)? Just a bit perplexed why the previous owner wouldn’t have been required to switch NSW mod plate to QLD mod plate during NSW-to-QLD rego transfer process (as my research has been indicating is necessary)? Maybe because the mod plate is newer?
